The width of a rectangle is 2/5 its length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 42 meters.

Olin [163]3 years ago

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P= 2(l+w). By substituting what we now knowin to the equation:

•42=2(l+(2/5l)). We can have width represented at (2/5l) because it’s now 2/5 of the length. Now add them together to get a single coefficient for l.

•42= 2(7/5l). Multiplying 7/5 by 2.

42= (14/5l). Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 14/5, which is 5/14, to get l by itself.

•l= 15.

Now that we now know the value of l, we know that the length is 15m. To find the width of the answer, we then multiply 15 by 2/5, which equals 6. Therefore, the only third option is correct because the length is 15m and the width is 6m.

PLEASE HELP FAST!!! Find the surface area of the composite figure. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
aksik [14]

Using the surface area formula for rectangular and triangular prism, the surface area of the composite figure is: 444 m².

<h3>What is the Surface Area of the Composite Figure?</h3>

Total surface area = surface area of the top triangular prism + surface area of the bottom rectangular prism - area of the surface both share together.

Surface area of the top triangular prism = (S1 + S2+ S3)L + bh = (10 + 10 + 16)5 + (16)(6) = 276 m².

Surface area of the bottom rectangular prism = 2(wl + hl + hw) = 2·(5·16+4·16+4·5) = 328 m²

Area of the surface both share together = 2(16)(5) = 160 m²

Total surface area = 276 + 328 - 160 = 444 m².

∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If m∠1 = 77°, then m∠2 =
posledela

Answer:

B. 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180°, so we can find the measure of angle 2 by subtracting 77 from 180

180 - 77

= 103

So, m∠2 is 103°

Kevin and Randy Muise have a jar containing 92 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. The total value of the coins
Artemon [7]
<span>Let n = the number of nickles
Let q = the number of quarters
Then for your problem we have
(1) n + q = 43 and
(2) 5*n + 25*q = 100*6.95 (always work in cents to avoid decimal numbers) or
(3) 5*n + 25*q = 695
Now substitute n of (1) into (3) and get
(4) 5*(43 - q) + 25*q = 695 or
(5) 215 - 5*q + 25*q = 695 or
(6) 20*q = 695 - 215 or

(7) 20*q = 480 or
(8) q = 24
Then using (1) we get
(9) n + 24 = 43 or
(10) n = 19
Let's check these values.
Is (.05*19 + .25*24 = 6.95)?
Is (.95 + 6.00 = 6.95)?
Is (6.95 = 6.95)? Yes
Answer: Kevin and Randy have 19 nickles and 24 quarters in the jar.</span>
